But then I have trouble on Cointalk as well.
Yes navigating on Berk is very frustrating, and normally I soon lose patience and give up.
For those familiar with my Early Electrum and Late Byzantine websites please note that have had to move them from the domain glebecoins.net to...
And on Sixbid.
This coin seems to be overstruck, and in any case two obverse dies are involved - one with the Virgin and another type featuring Christ seated on...

Did we ever get a metal analysis on this trite? Ross G.
The legend on this very rare type seems to name St Demetrius rather than the ruler (CLBC 14.31.2 - see example below from the Despot sale), so my...
And the first (Romae85-1308) is possibly S.2080 (rather than 2086). Ross G.
